Pasifika Grants 2018

Are you curious about how you or your centre/school can better support Pasifika learners? Do you have an innovative approach that could help promote effective and equitable teaching and learning for Pasifika learners? If so, read on!

As part of its charitable awards and scholarships, CORE Education offers an annual allocation to support teachers from Early Childhood Education to Senior Secondary whose hearts are in Pasifika Education. In 2018 this fund will be split into 4 awards, one for each of the following educational levels:

Early childhood

Primary

Intermediate

Secondary

What is in it for you and your school/early childhood service?

The CORE Education Pasifika Grant provides you with professional and financial support to undertake a teacher inquiry/project aimed at bringing about change in early childhood education (ECE) or classroom practice for the benefit of your Pasifika learners. This award is open to individuals or teams of teachers who are currently employed in early childhood services and schools in New Zealand.

The grant will buy you dedicated virtual mentoring support using CORE’s uChoose customised professional learning and mentoring programme for one year. uChoose operates virtually, so as long as you have wifi, no matter where you live in the country, you will have access.

The grant may also fund some teacher release to work on your investigation and other professional development such as presenting at uLearn. Details of how the fund is to be used will be negotiated with each successful recipient.

What we ask of you in return

A commitment to the project and improving outcomes for your Pasifika learners and communities.
